This is the contents page from an issue of established magazine "The Face". I love the modern, simplistic design and will use this design for my own inspiration. The rotated heading 'Contents' edited in a zigzag style banner I find really appealing as it strays from traditional conventions of a magazine and, because of this, believe it would appeal to a current demographic similar to mine.
This is the work in progress of my own contents page for my magazine EPQ. Overall I am happy with the outcome of my title. The use of the sans serif font 'Century Gothic' partnered with certain letters edited in a outline format, contributes to the modern theme of my product. It is quite urban in it's style. I imitated the zigzag shape from The Face magazine into my own page. I find it projects quite an 'edgy' atmosphere through the connotations of the sharp edges. I am in doubt about the use of yellow in my palette and am in two minds whether to continue this colour scheme or abandon it. I am definitely keeping the deep pink colour as it is anchorage of a female magazine but I am still undecided on the yellow. The layout of my contents list is visually interesting due to the page numbers being edited in a serif font to show contrast, showcased on different sized black circles. However, this may be a misleading layout due to the wide variety of sizes so I will take into consideration that a change in approach might be necessary. But overall I am pleased with development so far.
I will return to the Contents Page at a later date when the majority of the magazine is completed. This allows me to organise the magazine pages in an order where I can record page numbers and then incorporate these page numbers into the contents page at the end.
